In third grade, I had a cork collection! lol It was a lot of fun until I discovered I could buy a million corks at Hobby Lobby. Also, in second grade, I had a collection of about sixteen four-leaf clovers. So what's the weirdest, craziest, and strangest collection you've ever had?

Umm, well, I used to collect dead spiders and place them in a wooden box. I didn't kill them; I looked for dead ones.

I have a paper bag full of tiny pieces of paper that I painstakingly cut from several sheets of paper, one-by-one.

If there were a sick emoticon, I'd have ten of them right now, all with sick bags...

Tin foil. I collected loose pieces of tin foil.

Also, I would shred my socks and collect the shreds in a drawer in my desk.

I am currently collecting fur from my cats when I brush them(i heard someone knits them into scarves....so one of these days...)

I also collect Jesus and other religous icon stuff...I have one of those scarfy things that ministers wear from the dumpster and several crosses that are hallowed out with "the last rites",holy water bottle,candle inside.Lots of Jesus pics,buddhas,etc(got my bases covered.

I collect action figures which is only weird because I am 43 and dont know who any of them are(except one from Space Ghost)

I use to collect skulls....some I had to boil and clean myself but the smell was to bad so I dropped that hobby before I turned into a "Dommer".

Otherwise,nothing to weird....but lots of "stuff" that catches my fancy from dumpster diving,nature and thriftstores.

I used to have my bedroom walls covered with beads, when I was seventeen years old.

That's not so weird! I find the image of a bead covered wall quite cool!

Starting at the age of about two, I had a huge collection of keys and locks.

Oh, I forgot one! When I was about eight (also around the cork era), I collected sketeton keys. That was probably the coolest collection I ever had. Sometimes I even made necklaces out of them! Hm, maybe I should start one up again.
